In the Kingdom of Mountain Copper, Harold, the Lord of Copper, who was still recovering from his injuries, naturally received the news that a new dragon knight had appeared in the Golden Duchy.
"Damn it! Why?! Why did those weaklings gain another dragon knight?"
Harold angrily smashed the granite table in front of him into powder, and the violent movement caused the wounds on his body to burst open instantly.
"hiss!"
Harold gasped in pain.
"That guy Alvis, did he apply poison to the dragon claw or something? Why is the wound healing so slowly?"
Logically speaking, a dragon knight, especially a magic dragon knight like him who mainly relies on his physical body, has enough vitality to do such a simple thing as regenerating a severed limb.
But the injuries caused by the Emerald Dragon were attached with a strange power, which opposed Harold's own vitality and greatly slowed down his recovery.
Harold also tried to dig out the piece of flesh, but unfortunately, the power was still attached to him like a leech.
After venting his anger, Harold gradually calmed down. He instructed the butler beside him:
"Go and have Duke Amelia serve as my envoy to the Golden Duchy. Go to the Copper Mountain and cut off a large piece of orichalcum as a gift for that little devil called Krober."
The Orichalcum Dragon is different from the Emerald Dragon. Although they are both superior dragon species, the Orichalcum Dragon still retains the "high-yield" characteristics of the mineral dragon.
A large piece of orichalcum like that is only a small part of the amount that the orichalcum dragon has infused into it.
At the very least, the Emerald Dragon would never be willing to give away such a large piece of jade to anyone.
"The Golden Duchy... Veronica, I don't believe you'll side with your brother when it comes to choosing between national interests."
The news that Krober became a dragon knight not only spread among the three kingdoms of the southern continent, but even the Azure Tide Kingdom and the Topa Kingdom knew the news.
Among them, the Azure Tide Kingdom, as a loyal trading partner of the Emerald Kingdom, naturally had to participate in this dragon riding ceremony.
"Duke George, His Majesty the King has sent you a handwritten note. Once the invitation arrives from the Golden Duchy, you will lead the delegation directly to the Golden Duchy to participate in the Dragon Riding Ceremony."
George Azure Heart, Sapphire Dragon Knight, the sapphires they produce are one of the hottest trade items in the Azure Tide Kingdom.
Therefore, George's status in the Azure Tide Kingdom is second only to the king. His attendance at the dragon riding ceremony can be said to be a great honor.

St. King's Castle.
Krober's arrival naturally caused a sensation among the residents of Saint Gold Castle, and even the Dragon Breath Knights who had been accompanying the dragon all year round.
After some more showing off, the news that Krober had become the Tin Dragon Knight spread throughout Saint Gold Castle.
Veronica's boudoir.
Krober, who had just finished his work, was hugging Veronica and telling her about the process of contracting the tin dragon.
This time he did not make any deletions, but told the whole process.
Veronica seemed to be not used to having Krober hug her, so she broke free from Krober's arms and hugged him to her chest.
Surrounded by two balls of warmth, Krober was completely speechless.
After struggling for a while, he finally freed his head.
After the fun was over, the two began to discuss serious matters.
"Now that you've successfully ridden a dragon, I'm also going to prepare for the Dragon Riding Ceremony."
Veronica touched her little Rose's head. She didn't expect that this guy would grow so fast and was almost on par with her.
Krober had no strength left and could only let Veronica do what she wanted. However, this was the first time he had heard of the new term "Dragon Riding Ceremony".
Since her little rose had never heard of it, Veronica would of course patiently explain it to him.
The Dragon Riding Ceremony is actually a traditional event in the Seven Kingdoms.
As the name suggests, whenever someone successfully gains the recognition of a dragon and signs a contract with it, a grand ceremony will be held to celebrate.
It is both to celebrate the country's addition of a top fighter and to demonstrate its own strength.
Under normal circumstances, no matter which country holds the dragon riding ceremony, it must send invitations to the seven kingdoms and various duchies.
Any omission will be considered offensive.
Not all seven kingdoms will come. Some countries with good relations will generally send people, while some countries with less close relations will come depending on their mood. As for hostile countries... they generally do not come.
But even if they don't come, they will send envoys to deliver gifts, if for no other reason than to follow the tradition passed down from ancient times to the present.
At the Dragon Riding Ceremony, dragon riders and dragons must demonstrate their combat prowess.
The best way to demonstrate combat prowess is to practice with dragon riders and skillfully perform the five arts of dragon riders.
The five major events of aerial combat, dragon breath, human-dragon combat, dragon spear fighting and dragon breath attachment all require Krober to ride a tin dragon to demonstrate.
"What? Me?"
Kroeber pointed at himself.
no!
He doesn't know any of the things I just said!
He could understand aerial combat and dragon breath, as this was meant to showcase Amma's melee and ranged abilities.
But what are human-dragon combat, dragon spear fighting techniques, and dragon breath attachment?
"These are some of the combat methods developed by dragon knights to enhance their coordination with dragons and combat effectiveness."
Veronica explained to Krober bit by bit.
"Dragon Lance Combat Technique is actually about using the dragon's own material to forge a several-meter-long dragon lance for you. This way, when the dragon engages in close combat, you can use the dragon lance to attack the opposing dragon rider."
"And Dragon Breath Attachment is a Dragon Knight's standard long-range attack method. It primarily involves mobilizing the dragon's or your own magical power, attaching it to long-range weapons like spears and javelins, for medium- to long-range attacks."
After listening to this, Krober nodded slowly.
This is actually very easy to understand, it is just to show the dragon knight's melee and ranged capabilities.
"What is the human-dragon combination combat?"
Four of the five arts of dragon riding have been introduced, and the only one left is the so-called human-dragon combination combat.
"This? Actually, it's about showing the level of coordination between you and Xilong. You have to perform some difficult coordinated combat in the air. It's just not very practical, so you just do some fancy flying maneuvers."
Veronica simply told her little Rose the basic knowledge she needed to know after becoming a dragon knight. Veronica looked at the beautiful Rose in her arms and couldn't help pursing her lips.
"I've taught you so much, shouldn't you give me something in return?"
Kroeber was stunned.
"Wait? Shouldn't I be the one saying this?"
